For those wondering about the tiny amount of keys, you definitely can get used to it.
I have a similar sized keyboard, and the trade off is basically - I move my hands around the keyboard much less, and in return I have to to press more keys. IE, to make the ( symbol I have to press 3 keys, and on a regular keyboard it's 2 keys (shift + 9), but you have to move your hand up and right to a place in the keyboard I don't even have. I'm basically on the home row all the time.
There's also various timing based mechanisms to get around this (ie, hold a key and it does something different if you tap it), but I find it all a bit fiddly and just do basic chording. YMMV.
- lawn 2y agoI even think the Corne have too many keys and for me it's enough with a 3x5 grid plus one or two thumb keys. The big trade-off is layout complexity.
